Gregg Whitcomb is in his eighth year on the Shippensburg University men’s soccer coaching staff in 2022.
Whitcomb, an All-PSAC performer and two-year team captain with the Shippensburg University men’s soccer team, serves as a volunteer assistant with the Raiders. He primarily assists the team with recruiting efforts throughout the year in addition to work with practice and game plans.
In 54 games with the Raiders from 2011-14, Whitcomb was a regular on defense – making 51 starts over four years. In his rookie season (2011), Whitcomb contributed to a defensive unit that allowed just 17 goals in 16 regular-season games – the lowest regular-season opponent goals total since the current school record (nine goals) was set in 1987.
Following his junior season in 2013, Whitcomb earned All-PSAC Second Team honors as a defender. He appeared in 16 games that season, contributing to five shutouts and a stretch of play in which SU went 442 minutes without allowing a goal. He served as a team captain in both his junior and senior seasons.
Whitcomb earned Capital One Academic All-District accolades in 2013 for his performances both on the field and in the classroom. He was also named a 2015 recipient of the NCAA Division II Degree Completion Award after a national committee selected him on the basis of academic performance, athletic achievement and involvement in campus and community activities.
Off the field, Whitcomb served as the 2014-15 President of SU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Whitcomb is also a member of Beta Gamma Sigma and has participated in a number of community service and fund-raising events – including Athletes Got Talent, One Night, One Wish and SAAC's Special Olympics events. Additionally, Whitcomb has been a member of the Apple Leadership Team through SU Athletics and an Accounting Club member.
A native of Dillsburg, Whitcomb graduated in May 2016 as a double major in accounting and finance (personal financial planning concentration). Whitcomb is a CPA who works in Camp Hill as a senior tax accountant at Brown Schultz Sheridan & Fritz.
